Not the TV Series, he did write some books (a couple of 10th Doctor ones I think).

so none returned then given doctor who only ended in 1989 i presume afew of 7 6 and 5 writers are still alive would it not have helped the show bringing them back

The show seems to be doing ok without them. Still I would love Terrancw Dicks to do one. I guess the style and pacing is very different.

At least we got old series director Graeme Harper directing new stuff.

Nope, none of them

wish robert holmes were still alive, he was brilliant

Wish Paul Cornell would write another episode, have him bring back a classic monster.

And Robert Sherman, who arguably remains the best Big Finish writer.

Cornell has, (or at least had in 2010, dunno if it still applies) a 'golden handcuffs' deal with DC Comics, meaning he couldn't work for anyone else.

Don't forget director Graeme Harper has directed quite a few episodes of the new series. Surprising Moffat hasn't used him yet

Hopefully he'll be used once again.

I wonder how many seconds it would have taken him to turn that down.
